Re: Grub Loading Error 2 w/ Adaptec ASH-1233 UDMA controller

Hello rkang,
Here is where you can look up what the Gnu Grub Manual has to say about Grub error 2, Errors reported by the Stage 2

You could try running a filesystem check and see if that clears it. You can do that from the Ubuntu 'Desktop' LiveCD (on the unmounted filesystem), if you know the right commands.
My suggestion is this one,
Code:
sudo e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/hda2
(Where /dev/hda2 is your Ubuntu partition, and you are using the ext3 filesystem).

Otherwise if you don't like using commands, the easiest way to run a filesystem check is to boot a GParted -- LiveCD, click on the partition you want fixed, and select 'check' from the menu, and wait for a while.

You might also try booting it from Grub's Command Line Interface or with a Super Grub Disk and see if that will boot it for you. If that works then you will be able to easily fix it by editing your /boot/grub/menu.lst file.

If you would like more help with your specific problem you could run the Ubuntu Desktop Live CD and post here the output from the following command,
Code:
sudo fdisk -lu
And then mount your Ubuntu hard disk installed operating system's filesystem (partition) and get a copy of the /boot/grub/menu.lst file and post that here please. Then hopefully someone will be able to see something wrong and be able to help you better.

Regards, Herman
